New Releases by Paulo Coelho

Love is humankind''s supreme gift. Paulo Coelho, the internationally bestselling author of The Alchemist, teaches us how to embrace it. “I thought that I had already thought about everything you could think about Love when Henry Drummond’s sermon fell into my hands. My life changed a lot from the moment I read the words in this book and tried to put his teaching into practice.”—Paulo Coelho What is love? In the 19th century, the young missionary Henry Drummond defined love as the culmination of nine elements: patience, kindness, generosity, humility, gentleness, dedication, tolerance, sincerity, and innocence. He laid this out in his sermon, “The Greatest Thing in the World,” which has become a classic and is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful texts ever written on love. Reflecting on this sermon and its subject, St. Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians, the admired spiritual teacher Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist, a fable of following your dream and one of Oprah’s “Best Self-Help Books of a Generation,” brings us on his own journey of deepening his practice of Love. Contrary to what we are used to hearing, the greatest treasure in the spiritual life is not faith, but love. No matter what your religious beliefs are, this feeling is, without doubt, the most rewarding way to live. In The Supreme Gift, Paulo Coelho adapts Henry Drummond’s text, offering a real and powerful message that will help us incorporate love into our daily life and experience all its transformational power in our lives. Freely adapted from the text by Henry Drummond

As they embark on this journey together, Paulo and Karla explore a love affair that awakens them on every level and leads to choices and decisions that will set the course for their lives thereafter.

Stories are one of the oldest ways we have of passing on knowledge. They are literature at its purest and can be cheerful, funny, tragic or dramatic. Stories for Parents, Children and Grandchildren is an anthology divided into two independent volumes, which can be shared from generation to generation, encouraging us to reflect on each and every stage of our lives. Wherever possible, Paulo has given the source of the stories, but most belong to the secret archives of the human heart. So, let us go for a stroll through the traditions and legends of the world, drawn in by the power of the four magic words we heard as children and have never forgotten: Once upon a time...

„Fiecare poveste de dragoste este o călătorie“ – iată deviza sub care stă romanul al Paulo Coelho. Un scriitor stabilit la Paris, adulat de public,dar privit cu scepticism de critică, descoperă că soţia lui, corespondent de război,a dispărut fără urmă. A fost răpită, şantajată, ori s-a săturat de căsnicie pur şi simplu? Scriitorul începe s-o caute şi ajunge până în Asia Centrală. Soţia devine pentru el un „Zahir“, o entitate de neocolit, care îl tulbură până la obsesie şi să-l învăluie treptat în această stare de „posedare" totală, pendulând incert între sfinţenie şi nebunie. Mai mult, „Zahirul“ îl smulge din siguranţa lumii sale şi îl mână, pe căi necunoscute, în căutarea unei noi înţelegeri despre esenţa iubirii şi forţa destinului. Cu Zahir, Paulo Coelho dă încă o dovadă a marelui său talent de povestitor captivant, dar oferă şi o perspectivă proprie asupra rosturilor fiinţei umane într-o lume plină de neprevăzut.

"Kitab Suci Kesatria Cahaya adalah ajakan bagi kita semua untuk mewujudkan impian, menerima ketidakpastian dalam hidup, dan bangkit untuk menyongsong takdir pribadi kita yang unik. Ada sosok sang Kesatria Cahaya di dalam diri setiap orang, dan dengan caranya yang tak tertandingi, Paulo Coelho membantu kita untuk menemukannya. Jalan Kesatria Cahaya tak selalu mudah, tetapi dia menerima kegagalan-kegagalannya dan berjuang tak kenal lelah untuk memenuhi Legenda Pribadi-nya."

Transform your life. Rewrite your destiny. In his most personal novel to date, internationally bestselling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith. As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, his only real option is to begin again—to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him. Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian railroad, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. Even so, he never expects to meet Hilal. A gifted young violinist, she is the woman Paulo loved five hundred years before—and the woman he betrayed in an act of cowardice so far-reaching that it prevents him from finding real happiness in this life. Together they will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, traveling a path that teaches love, forgiveness, and the courage to overcome life’s inevitable challenges. Beautiful and inspiring, Aleph invites us to consider the meaning of our own personal journeys.

A community devoured by greed, cowardice, and fear. A man persecuted by the ghosts of his painful past. A young woman searching for happiness. In one eventful week, each will face questions of life, death, and power, and each will choose a path. Will they choose good or evil? In the remote village of Viscos -- a village too small to be on any map, a place where time seems to stand still -- a stranger arrives, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him: Are human beings, in essence, good or evil? In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives. Paulo Coelho''s stunning novel explores the timeless struggle between good and evil, and brings to our everyday dilemmas fresh perspective: incentive to master the fear that prevents us from following our dreams, from being different, from truly living.

Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity.

"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."

From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.
